What is AgentSEO?
AgentSEO is an SEO data API designed for AI agents and developer workflows. Instead of raw search result pages, it returns selected SERP fields, ranking context and a short markdown summary in stable JSON, so an AI agent or automation can use the data without wading through a large payload. You can call it over REST, through Node.js and Python SDKs, or as an MCP server inside tools like Claude Desktop, Codex, n8n and OpenClaw.
The API covers search and rank tracking, local visibility, keyword and competitor research, content workflows such as content gaps, briefs, outlines and refresh plans, and AI visibility checks like AI Overview extraction and LLM mention tracking. It is built by Joy Technologies and offers a mock mode and a playground so you can test requests before spending credits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AgentSEO free?
AgentSEO has a free Hobby plan with 100 one-time live credits and no credit card required. After that, paid plans cost $9/month for Starter, $49/month for Pro and $149/month for Agency.
Can I use AgentSEO with Claude or other AI agents?
Yes. AgentSEO offers an MCP server for tools like Claude Desktop and Codex, plus a REST API, Node.js and Python SDKs and guides for n8n and OpenClaw.
How do AgentSEO credits work?
Each endpoint costs a set number of credits. A search of up to 10 results costs 1 credit, a SERP outline costs 4 credits and a content gap costs 10 credits. Paid plans refill credits monthly.
Will I be charged if I go over my credits?
No. Paid plans have a hard cap, so a job that needs more credits than you have left is rejected with a credit-limit error instead of being billed as overage.
